I am 59. My wife is 51. This was our 1st cruise on Royal Caribbean though we have cruised 4 other times; once on Carnival and 3 times on NCL. We are polite and not picky. We do not drink much on cruises. We spend the money on excursions. I am a scuba diver so a lot of this review includes those experiences. Because my wife is a sunrise/sunset junky and because many excursions leave early, we were on an early schedule for almost the whole cruise.
I liked this cruise. I thought it was a great value for the money. The only thing I hated on the cruise was the coffee. Everything else varied between ok and great!

Cabin 8289 Promenade Room. The Promenade (a kind of interior mall) is on deck 5. Decks 6,7, & 8 have rooms with a picture window overlooking the Promenade. Noise is not an issue on Deck 8. People & event watching is fun. The room is spacious for 2. Lots of storage. The king size bed is comfy. The bath is fine too. Never ran out of hot water. I miss an ocean view but this is much nicer then an interior room with no view of anything.
